The Finisher
The Finisher is a super powerful custom effect array, with no less than 20 individual effect processors, macro-controlled by a single selector and control knob. Effects used range from EQs to multiband compressors to distortion, delay, chorus, phaser, flanger, and reverb to a convolution unit (providing impulse responses of cabinets and more) to rather experimental stuff like beat cutter or grain pitch.
It lends the raw guitar sound all kinds of finish, from subtle character changes to standard effects such as delay, reverb or modulations to crazy grain clouds that render the original sound unrecognizable.
The Finisher is the way to go for creative sound-design with Carbon. It comes with over 70 presets specifically created for Virtual Guitarist CARBON. Every preset sets up the 20 individual processors in a new way and connects them to the Finisher Knob.
Best of all: The Finisher is meant to be “played live”. Either using the Finisher Knob or the Mod Wheel of your keyboard (or generally MIDI cc#1) you can create amazing morphing sounds.
And it couldn’t be simpler:
MODE Knob and Menu
Mode Knob and Menu
Select a Finisher MODE Preset using the MODE knob or
- click either on the preset name to open the full list,
- or click the arrows to step through the list.
The purpose of the knob is that Finisher MODE preset selection can be automated, i.e. you can switch Finisher MODE presets during the track. Note that some algorithms won’t switch glitch-free, in that case plan for a brief pause.
